In 2023, Germany's import of toilet paper stood at approximately 128.11 million kilograms. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show a steady decline in import volumes, decreasing from 128.11 million kilograms to 75.453 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a clear downward trend, with year-on-year decreases progressively intensifying. Specifically, the import volume is expected to decrease by 10.5% from 2024 to 2025, 11.5% from 2025 to 2026, 12.9% from 2026 to 2027, and 14.7% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period indicates an average annual decline of approximately 12%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production capabilities, changing consumer behaviors towards sustainability and environmental concerns, and variations in global trade dynamics which may impact Germany's import requirements.
